My 944 seat rails are completely seized.

My 944 has had a sunroof leak for a while before I purchased it. Now the driver side seat rails are completely seized. What penetrating fluid should I use? Or is there an other way to get the seat out with out damaging it?

Liquid Wrench may help. I would get a Dremel or drill with a wire brush on the runners first to remove as much surface rust as possible, then get a block of wood and a mallet and try to pound it free. (You would need to rig the seat rail lock mechanism so it is in the 'open' position'.) If that fails, you could unbolt the whole thing from the car and work on it on the bench. There you can try using CLR solution and heat.

Thanks Andy.

impossible to get to the right side of the seat to spray the liquid wrench. I
will try and use a jack to move the seat and. Update how that goes.
